 Excellent Review for Math 6-12 test. Definitely recommend. February 21, 2007
A. Cabrera (Miami, Fl)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This was the only book I used to prep for the FTCE Math 6-12 test. I only used this book and PASSED :-). I used this book for about 8 weeks before the test (I recommend you use it for 12 weeks to give yourself time if needed ofcourse). I think all you need to pass this test is this book, assuming you've taken alegbra, geometry, trig, and calculus before and got a decent grade.
I recommend creating a formula sheet based on problems and formulas in this book. I did this and about 80% of the formulas I put on the sheet were used during the test.
You shouldn't take the actual test until you can pass both the diagnostic and practice test with at least 85%. Don't worry so much about the time during your review of this book. Focus on understanding the formulas involved and the concepts.
Once you've gone through the entire book inside out and got at least 85-90% on the tests then quiz yourself on the formulas to make sure you know them by heart. Then one last time take both tests again timing yourself. If you finally score 85-90% again then take the test! That's what I did and I passed. I'm sure luck had alittle to do with it ;-).
Good luck!

I am taking the test this weekend, so I guess then I will really see what type of guide this is. Overall it's a great guide for those who have experience and learned the math at one point. But like me its been a really long time since I had a real class.
This is not for someone who is learning the concepts for the first time. Maybe a few things you missed here and there (Matrices, Permutations, etc..) But not for major concepts (Algebra, Functions, Calculus, Trig).
Lessons have plenty of examples with a verity of different problems. Also has great exercises and a full length test at the end. Also has several chapters discussing Mathematics teaching. Which you don't want to forget about, that's part of the test too!
 difficult February 13, 2008
S. Marlow (Miami, FL)
This book pretty much tells you what you need to know for the FTCE. It gives a basic explanation and then examples. I also like the sample exams that are included. The book is very good for people that are already familiar with these types of math problems because it does not give a thorough explanation. It skips steps in a problem because it assumes that the person using the book already has the basic understanding of the problem. I have been using this book along with other resources found on the internet that breaks down the problem. Since I've been out of school for years, I needed a resource that could do that.
I knew this about the book because of other reviews I read but purchased it because I couldn't find anything better.
Serves it's purpose for those with a math background June 19, 2008
Dale K. Filipowicz (Florida)
Some of the examples and concepts do not have adequate explanation. Definitely will not get you through the exam if you have not had math through the Calculus level. Also, there were actually a few errors in their solutions.
 Too many typos March 29, 2008
G. Sampson (Jacksonville)
The book is of limited value to someone trying to recall mathematics learned and is fuzzy on the details. There are too many typographical errors which means the book is actually giving out wrong information! If you're not really sure of what you know, the book doesn't help you review but steers you wrong.
